EMAIL DAY YEAH!!!

Elder Phnom Penny sounds AWESOME!!

So Thanksgiving was easily the best one I have ever had (sorry to my
family) We started the day off with a devotional where Elder Russel M.
Nelson spoke to us and it was really neat I was in the second row
somehow! Then we had thanksgiving lunch with turkey, stuffing, rolls,
potatoes, and my favorite, pumpkin pie (: Then we had some more
devotionals which were awesome! You know, the spirit was super strong
and what not! Then we did a huge huge huge service project, the biggest
the church has ever done except natural disaster recovery! We made meals
for 350,000 people!!! Then what surprised me is Sister Nally (the MTC
President's wife) made a huge thanksgiving program with costumes and
what not! Then we watched Ephraim's Rescue which I highly recommend to
all to watch this holiday season! It really inspired me to be a better
missionary and person (: The MTC staff surprised us when we left from
the movie because the MTC campus was alight with Christmas glory (: It
was amazing and the Spirit from the movie and the lights and the love of
the presidency for us was sooooo strong! Then last night (Sunday) was
the most spiritual day I've ever had in my life. It was fast Sunday and I
fasted for some answers and for the Spirit to be strong and man oh man
did God answer my fast! Some highlights were the morning devotional
where Sister Nally shared her idea of Christmas and how we received the
greatest of gifts ever from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I
challenge all you who read this to make this Christmas different than
any ever! Focus on giving, not receiving. Focus on serving and loving
others and I promise you it'll be one of your best Christmas's ever!
Charity and love is the best gift you could and can ever give. I want
you to all know that your Savior loves you. He went through the greatest
of sacrifices for you. I want you to know I love my Savior. He is my
best friend and the biggest motivation in my life. I'm on my mission
because it's the least I can do for him. He gave his all for us and we
owe it to him to serve our fellow man. Remember that during this
Christmas season! I love you all, I'm doing a great work and there's no
other place I'd rather be (:

Oh and we watched The Testaments, you all need to watch it and realize the truth and power of the Book of Mormon (:
